Re: New C&C 24 Project Boat

Thanks to both of you. I am so glad I asked. The ones on the mast are all 1/8, which means they all have to be replaced. Scary, though. Don't know if they would have survived my first sail with this boat. Would it be possible to send me a copy of the manual? I had one, but it burnt up with my house in Connecticut, and don't want to spend another $25 for another.

Paul is right: 3/16, 1x19

All the standing rigging on the 24 is 3/16" 1x19 I believe.

Re: New C&C 24 Project Boat

Thank you so much, this is a huge help. If all the lights listed were on the mast, I would now know what they are for. As it is, the only light on the mast is the masthead light, so I managed to use the yellow wire, and moved it in the panel to masthead spot. Can you look up and tell me what size wire I am supposed to have for the stays/ shrouds? The ones on the mast are too short, and I don't trust that they are the right thickness. Before I spend the money to replace them, I want to make sure I get the right ones, they seem pretty small (1/8").

Re: New C&C 24 Project Boat (Wiring Diagram)

You'll find the C&C 24 wiring diagrams in this PDF. I think it will solve your issues; as I remember there was some confusion on my boat as the four wires coming from the cabin switch box didn't match the colors going up the mast.

Captainmurph:
Do you still have a manual for this boat? Specifically, I need the wiring diagram, as the mast was replaced, and the new one has a different plug than the boat. When I unwrapped the wire coming out of the cabin, it has 4 wires, and the white one is broken below the outside shell. The remaining wires are green, blue, and yellow, and I can't find any of them going back to the fuse panel, or anywhere that I can locate .. The mast itself only has 2 wires, going up to the mast light. I am wondering...what are the extra wires coming out of the cabin, can I use one of them as the main wire to the mast light.

Hello Jeep Collector 91,

Regarding the C&C 24 I would like to buy a few things if you still have that bout. I can not buy the whole peace but considering buying a few things if we come to an agreement. Please, feel free to send me an e-mail at nikolay@spiregroupny.com or call 646 429 2441. I sow your movie on you tube unfortunately it did not have any contact info so I am hopping to reach you trough this website. The things I am interested are:

1.Sails
2.The wood peace b/n the U cabin and sleeping area in the front(it starts from one side of the cabin goes to the top & finishes to the other side. It looks like house shoe with extensions on the side)
3.The leather on the port side of the boat I think.
4.cushions
5.electrical system and other things I might think of later

please let me know.

I really wanted to restore the C&C but just don't have the time or money to put into it. For the amount of money I would spend on keeping it in a slip for a year, I could save & completely restore another old aluminum Starcraft.

I tried selling the C&C for almost a year but everyone was too afraid to attempt transporting it themselves. I even lowered the price to $900 without the motor expecting to find it a good home but still no takers. I even tried offering to accept a small outboard (2.5-8hp 2-stroke) or starcraft parts as a partial trade. Still no takers. I have had several request for parts so now that is the route I have to go. I am not looking forward to making the first cut in the hull. It will be in the landfill sometime next week. Poor C&C.

Re: New C&C 24 Project Boat

If anyone needs parts for a 1977 C&C 24, I gave up on selling mine whole and am beginning to part it out this week. Not looking forward to cutting up a perfectly good boat but at least the parts will be available to help keep other boats on the water.
